Wowee wow wow!Wowee wow wow! Entire neighborhood wiped my first batch out in less than one day! Pretty easy to make in comparison with other Biscotti recipes. About as hard as brownies. The only thing I do in addition to the recipe is sift powdered sugar over the biscotti before drizzling the chocolate. In a little more than a week I am on my third batch! This one is going to the Italian Grandparents of my future son in law.

Unfortunately, I didn't have any almonds so I made it without the nuts but used melted semi-sweet and white chocolate drizzled over the pieces. Everyone loved it, even my husband who is not a big biscotti fan. His major comment was how really good it will be when I make it again but using the almonds this time. This is a winner!!

I melted semi-sweet chocolate chips and added orange zest for a little extra flavor! Very, very yummy!

Instead, after it has baked, I dip it longways in the melted chocolate. My family didn't believe I made it! It looks store bought. Everyone loves it!

This is an excellent recipe.This is an excellent recipe. I make it every Christmas. This year after rolling out my logs I was in such a hurry that I cut thru them b/4 baking. Just wanted cooks to know that this worked very well and seemed to go faster for me.

The flavor of the biscotti is okay.The flavor of the biscotti is okay. However, it was not easy to cut it before the '2nd bake'. It was breaking into pieces, very crumbled. I didn't get many pieces that looked good after that process.
